 |
|
Hello, I have tried to connect to my Pantum P3300DW network printer with CUPS and it doesn't work. I tried the Ubuntu driver and of course it won't work.. Next I downloaded their driver for Linux (they have a package for Ubuntu and another called Linux) and get these errors:
| Code: |
pete@gentoo ~/Downloads/Pantum Ubuntu Driver V1.1.112 $ ./install.sh
64bit system

what is libc6? I have emerged libc

pete@gentoo ~ $ sudo emerge -av libc

and after that get these errors:

The "Linux" package seems to be a .deb also. How to convert it? I tried to find Pantum from Gutenprint but no luck. The printer works with my Ubuntu machine but would like to leave Ubuntu.
edit: I use openRC

tedlasso,

Available versions: 1-r3{tbz2}
Installed versions: 1-r3{tbz2}(15:21:31 24/02/24)

That won't help with what you do with the bits once you have them.
But don't do that. Running random install scrips, as you did is likely to overwrite files installed and managed by portage, which will break other things.
If you must install things that portage knows nothing of, ensure that they go to /usr/local, or at a pinch, /opt after you check that there won't be any collisions in /opt.
That's all very interesting but none of it is required.
https://openprinting.github.io/printers/ lists the Pantum P3300DW as supporting Airprint and IPP anywhere, so no driver is required.
I what way does printing fail?

| Thank you! I'll try driverless then. Last time I tried it with CUPS I couldn't reach to the localhost page. I can connect to the printer with WiFi but can't print anything. |

tedlasso,
The localhost page won't be there unless cupsd is started.
Its localhost:631 too.
You won't be able to print from anything unless cupsd is running.

Thanks again! I went thrue the wiki and now it works. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Printing
So my issue was that my cups install missed some of the user flags. I re-emerged the cups, cups-meta and followed the wiki and after reboot I get to localhost:631 and can print. I absolutely love the Gentoo Wiki! And many thanks to you Neddy!! I modify this threat as [solved] |
